Chapter 1.3 Acceleration
Types of Acceleration Acceleration is a vector quantity Positive Acceleration 1. when change in magnitude and direction are positive 2. when change in magnitude and direction are negative Negative Acceleration 1. magnitude positive, direction negative 2. magnitude negative, direction positive
Formula Acceleration = change in velocity time interval Do Practice problems on Page 147
